A near-eye display system includes a display panel to display a near-eye lightfield frame comprising an array of elemental images and an eye tracking component to track a pose of a user's eye. The system further includes a rendering component to position the array of elemental images within the near-eye lightfield frame based on the pose of the user's eye. A method of operation of the near-eye display system includes determining, using the eye tracking component, a first pose of the user's eye and determining a shift vector for an array of elemental images forming a near-eye lightfield frame based on the first pose of the user's eye. The method further includes rendering the array of elemental images at a position within the near-eye lightfield frame that is based on the shift vector.
